The Helper Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Technically it would not be for the VCS rather it would be the newest game released for the 7800. It would require Atari to deal with the 8 Bit guy to license his game but once the Petscii Robots is ready for the Atari 7800 it would be ready for the VCS. It would be so easy as the 8 bit guy is very reasonable and having the Atari VCS as one of the indirect ports would be a cross spectrum promotion of a guy who has 1.35 million subscribers. When the Petscii Robots thing is done for the 7800 Atari should immediately release it on the VCS the game is badass might be the best one on the 7800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know but I know there is another guy on the project that actually did the port I wonder if he is around the forums somewhere maybe in the 7800 section?

justclaws Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I'm sure that Atari would love to have these homebrew games on the VCS too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Helper Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 They are talking about this in the Jaguar forum now Atari should really look into this for the VCS because it would put there name up there in the 8-bit guy world and really introduce the VCS to a bunch of people I think. Probably the least amount of money they would have to spend to reach the most people actually. A NUON version too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 There's an adaptor in development for the 7800 (and 2600) that allows the use of S.N.E.S, or Jaguar controllers by Danjovic called, The Wolf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 So, does this mean someone found an 7800 emulator they can wrap the 7800 ROM of the game into for the VCS? Have they checked the license on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they checked the license on it? It does not mean it has been done yet just that it could be done. The 7800 version of Petscii Robots is almost done I think Atari has a 7800 emulator wrapped into the VCS Operating system now as well as Stella. They are the only ones I believe that can wrapper the games to work though. Once the 7800 version is done it would be nothing for Atari to be able to release it in the emulator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) The 7800 version is featured from 15:48 on this video, showcasing the Pokey soundtrack, and high-quality graphics: I'd buy this game in a heart-beat for the 7800 native emulator, and it would be great to see ATARI XP bring this level of quality to new or improved 7800 physical releases.
